⚽ The Premier League trophy enters Scouse territory. The Reds clinched the Premier League title yesterday with a resounding 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield Stadium. This marks their 20th top-flight championship, drawing them level with Manchester United as English football’s most successful clubs.
By the numbers: This represents Liverpool’s second title in five years, marking a stellar debut for Dutch tactician and head coach Arne Slot, who led the team to breaking Manchester City’s four-season stronghold on the trophy. Perhaps more poignantly, this was Liverpool’s first title celebration at Anfield since 1990. The Premier League trophy will be presented at the closing match of the season following Liverpool’s match against Crystal Palace on Sunday, 25 May.
